[Verse 1]
Please don't leave me in the carpark
Oh, just kiss me on the nose
Say you know your friends are arseholes
So you told 'em to go home
Say you don't believe in star signs
You just faked it when we met
Because pretty girls like star signs
You read it on the internet

Oh, I want you to be happy
But I need you to grow up
And I guess you'll do both one day
And you know what? It'll suck
'Cause I won't get to hold hands
With the older, better guy
No, I got landed with the twenty-something fucking prototype

[Chorus]
And it is
What it always is
He could change if he wanted to
And he will one day
I'm sure of it
He just doesn't want to change enough for you
[Verse 2]
Oh you're gonna be a good dad
Gonna raise a cocky son
And then I'll become a footnote
In a life before your mum
And you'll be nothing like the person standing metres from my door
Telling me that I'm a burden that you can't hold anymore

And I wish that you were better
And that's a dangerous path to trek
'Cause I can't commit myself to someone you ain't become yet
So you'll go back to New York
And we won't keep in touch
And I'll write songs you'll hear and think
"Oh wow, I really messed her up"

[Chorus]
And it is
What it always is
He could change if he wanted to
And he will one day
I'm sure of it
He just didn't want to change enough for you
He just didn't want to change enough for you

[Bridge]
And you're not an awful person
You're just an awful friend
And an awful guy to fall in love with
And I know the way this story goes
I'll still read it til the end and I know
That I won't be satisfied
But I also know that I'll tell everyone
I loved it
[Chorus]
So it goes
How it always goes
You could try; baby, trying's free
And you will one day
I'm sure of it
You just didn't want to try enough for me

[Outro]
You just didn't want to try enough for me
